"We had some reservations about Skip's education, but we've agreed to pay his expenses in getting a degree." Wise was a hero in his East Baltimore neighborhood as he teamed with seven-foot Larry Gibson, an incoming freshman at Maryland, in leading Dunbar High School to 48 consecutive victories. With some 200 scholarship offers available, he chose Clemson. i Tates Locke, the coach at Clemson last "I didn't want people to think that was the reason I was leaving," Wise said.

"If that was the case, I'd rather stay there and sit out the probation, or whatever they would give us. "It's always been in my mind that I wanted to play pro ball," Wise said. "It was just a matter of time. I thought I could have played pro ball when I came out of high school. "I'm ready," he said, "and I want to' provide my family with security." Wise's mother is separated from her husband, and his 18-year-old sister has just entered 1 Wilberforce University in Ohio.

BALTIMORE (AP) Guard Skip Wise, a star at Clemson University last year as a freshman, signed a multi-year contract Friday with the new American Basketball Association franchise in his hometown of Baltimore. Contract terms were not disclosed, but General Manager Lee Silverman of the team without a nickname said it was for "near $1 million." The pact was believed to be for five years, with a no-cut clause covering the first two seasons. Wise, 20, said an investigation of possible recruiting violations at Clemson by the National Collegiate Athletic Association had nothing to do with his decision to quit school.

"I was pleased with the boys but we were worried at first about our specialty teams," said Tommy Davis, in his first year at Ware Shoals. "We got that long pass and we'll take it, Anty has a lot of speed and Johnny did a good job filling in for Jerome Valentine who got hurt Monday. We didn't play him because we didn't want to take a chance at getting him hurt more." Ninety Six head coach Todd Heldreth said he thought both teams "moved the ball w.

(AP) There will never be another Billie Jean King. Her flair and fortitude have made her a tennis force that won't soon be forgotten, But today's title match in the U.S. Open Championships between top-seeded Chris Evert and No. 4 Evonne Goolagong is considered the test to tell who will pick up the mantle Ms. King, last year's winner, discarded at age 31 after winning Wimbledon six times and Forest Hills four the two tournaments that make queens and kings of commoners in a sport once reserved for royalty.

The men's reign, because of the tremendous depth of talent, is more tentative.

I can't let her make me play her game. "I have to control my own pace." Admittedly, Miss Goolagong has the statistical edge in the two tournaments that count. She was once a winner and twice a runner-up at Wimbledon and twice a runner-up at Forest Hills.

Miss Evert's best showing is once a winner and once a runner-up at Wimbledon but never before past the semifinals at Forest Hills. However, in Evert-Goolagong career meetings, Chris leads Ewonne 11-9. Their historic first meeting was in the 1972 Wimbledon semifinals when Miss Goolagong won in three sets. In the semifinals here last year, Evonne prevailed over Chris 6-0, 6-7, 6-3 in a two-day rain-delayed thriller. But both of those big ones were on grass.
